Ingredients

• 1 head (medium-sized) Green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Onion
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 medium (grated) Carrot
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, and red chili flakes. Stir the spices into the onion and garlic mixture, letting them bloom for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat it in the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Add the grated carrot, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.

Step 8

Transfer the spiced cabbage to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve warm.
